Abstract:
Truth disclosure of cancer patients is becoming more and more recognized in the world.Truth disclosure is usually regarded as the doctor's responsibility.However,the nurse has become an active participant in the truth disclosure of cancer patients both intentionally and inadvertently.This article systematically reviewed the role of nurses at home and abroad in informing patients with cancer the truth so as to provide guidance for the clinical practice.In April 2017,we retrieved articles in Pubmed,Chinese CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database,and retrieval time is not restricted.A total of 92 literatures were retrieved and 8 articles were retrieved by manual searching.Finally,23 articles were included.Through systematic review of the literature,nurses are found to play an important role in informing cancer patients the truth.Compared with physicians,nurses have a more positive attitude for truth disclosure.Nurses have the most contact with patients and family members,if the nurses have plans to communicate with the families on telling the truth to cancer patients,there will be a positive impact on the truth disclosure attitude of family members.It is necessary to explore the strategy of truth disclosure for cancer patients with integrated medical staff in the future.
